Niagara Park is a destination that needs little introduction. The Horseshoe Falls in the park is undeniably the star attraction, with the waters of the Niagara River falling quickly over a 188-foot-high drop. While this natural wonder is indeed breathtaking, it’s by no means the only reason to visit the region. There are a number of equally impressive nature and history experiences to enjoy in the park.
Journey Behind the Falls
Journey Behind the Falls is an attraction at the west of Horseshoe Falls, documenting the geographical evolution of Niagara Falls and telling the history of Niagara Falls as an area, from its first native inhabitants to a world-famous tourist attraction.
Witness a whirlpool from above
In Niagara Valley visitors will find a surging whirlpool (旋涡) of water rages, created by an abrupt anticlockwise turn at the rapids’ end. For the best view, take the Whirlpool Aero Car that has been transporting visitors across the gorge (峡谷) for over a century. It’s a popular attraction, so consider visiting first thing in the morning to avoid long lines.
Discover the world’s butterflies
The Niagara Park Butterfly Conservatory is one of North America’s largest butterfly conservatories. The self-guided tour lets visitors observe butterfly species from all over the world, see them up close at feeding stations, or if you’re lucky, witness newborns take their first flight.
Take to the tunnels
Leave the surface behind and board a glass-walled lift to get into the depths of the Niagara Parks Power Station built in 1905. As well as wandering the building’s halls, guests can walk through the outlet tunnel. The long corridor transfers visitors to a dramatic exit point over the Niagara River, where a new viewing platform reveals the remarkable sight of Horseshoe Falls and Niagara River. The passageway can be accessed for no extra fee.
1. What can visitors do at the Niagara Park Butterfly Conservatory?
A. Take a guided tour. B. Feed the butterflies.
C. Observe butterfly species from around the world. D. Witness the birth of butterflies.
2 What can be known about the Niagara Park?
A. The tunnel is accessible without any additional charge.
B. Tourists visit Niagara Park only for breathtaking falls.
C. Visitors learn about the geographical evolution on the viewing platform.
D. The best way to witness a whirlpool is walking through the gorge.
3. What’s the purpose of the text?
A. To show the history of the park. B. To attract visitors to the park.
C. To stress the importance of ecosystem. D. To introduce the falls in the park.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B

The Horseshoe Falls in the park is undeniably the star attraction, with the waters of the Niagara River falling quickly over a 188-foot-high drop. While this natural wonder is indeed breathtaking, it’s by no means the only reason to visit the region. There are a number of equally impressive nature and history experiences to enjoy in the park.(尼亚加拉公园是一个不需要介绍的目的地。不可否认,公园里的马蹄瀑布是最吸引人的景点,尼亚加拉河的水从188英尺高的地方直坠而下。虽然这个自然奇观确实令人叹为观止,但它绝不是参观该地区的唯一理由。在公园里有许多同样令人印象深刻的自然和历史体验)”可知,文章主要介绍了尼亚加拉公园的几个主要景点和活动,这些介绍都是为了吸引读者对尼亚加拉公园的兴趣,并鼓励他们前往游览。因此,文章的目的是吸引游客到公园。故选B。
B
When Tom transferred from his rural middle school to a bustling city high school, he faced a crushing (毁灭性的) academic gap. Raised in a village where math lessons focused on basic addition and subtraction. Tom felt utterly unprepared for the city school’s strict curriculum. Algebra equations and geometric theorems seemed like a foreign language. His first math test—a humiliating 42/100— left him paralyzed with shame. “I’ll never catch up,” he thought, feeling overwhelmed and avoiding eye contact with classmates who scored effortlessly in the 90s.
Ms. Liu, a patient and observant math teacher, recognized Tom’s silent struggle. After class, she handed him a neatly printed practice sheet. “Let’s tackle this step by step,” she said. For the next three months, Ms. Liu devoted two afternoons weekly to one-on-one tutoring. She broke complex problems into visual diagrams, comparing algebraic variables to “missing puzzle pieces” and geometric angles to “folded paper edges.” To help him memorize formulas, she created catchy mnemonics (助记符,顺口溜) , like “All Students Take Coffee” for trigonometric (三角函数) ratios. Additionally, she invited Tom to join her after-school study group, where peers shared problem-solving shortcuts in a judgment-free zone.
Tom’s determination matched his teacher’s effort. He transformed every spare moment into a learning opportunity: reviewing flashcards during his hour-long bus commute, solving practice problems during lunch breaks, and rewriting notes until his hands cramped. Each evening, he emailed Ms. Liu his homework drafts, and she responded with detailed corrections by dawn. Progress was painfully slow— his next test climbed to 65, then 78— but Tom clung to Ms. Liu’s principle: “Small steps still move mountains.”
The turning point arrived when Ms. Liu surprised him with an application for the Regional Math Olympiad. “You’re ready,” she insisted, though Tom doubted himself. For weeks, he drilled past competition papers, often working past midnight. On the day of the event, his palms sweat as he faced the first algebra problem, but Ms. Liu’s voice echoed in his mind: “Focus on what you know.” When results were announced, Tom’s name appeared under “Honorable Mentions”— an achievement he’d never imagined possible.
At the award ceremony, Tom clutched (紧握,抱紧) his certificate, tears blurring the stage lights. “Ms. Liu didn’t just teach me math.” he told the crowd, his voice trembling. “She showed me that failure is just the first draft of success.” The applause from classmates and teachers cemented a truth Tom now embraced: perseverance could bridge even the widest gaps.
4. What was Tom’s biggest problem after transferring to the city high school?
A. His weak basic knowledge. B. A great academic gap.
C. The foreign language spoken by teachers. D. The bad relationship with classmates.
5. What does the underlined word “humiliating” mean in Paragraph 1?
A. Embarrassing. B. Exciting. C. Amazing. D. Amusing.
6. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. Tom’s silent struggle in maths. B. Ms. Liu’s teaching methods in class.
C. Tom’s efforts to improve his maths score. D. Ms. Liu’s ways to help Tom learn maths.
7. What message does the text convey?
A. Two heads are better than one. B. A good medicine tastes bitter.
C. Perseverance and guidance can bridge gaps. D. Nothing is to be got without pain but poverty.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了汤姆转学到城市高中后数学差距大,刘老师悉心辅导,他努力追赶,终在数学奥赛获荣誉,明白坚持能跨越差距。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“When Tom transferred from his rural middle school to a bustling city high school, he faced a crushing (毁灭性的) academic gap.( 当汤姆从农村中学转到熙熙攘攘的城市高中时,他面临着巨大的学业差距。)”可知,汤姆转到城市高中后最大的问题是面临着巨大的学业差距。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词句中“His first math test—a … 42/100—left him paralyzed with shame.( 他的第一次数学考试——……100分制的42分——让他羞愧难当。)”可知,他的数学考试只得了42分,这让他充满了羞愧。由此可猜测,“humiliating”为“耻辱的”意思,和A选项“Embarrassing”(尴尬的,令人难堪的)意思相近。故选A项。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Ms. Liu, a patient and observant math teacher, recognized Tom’s silent struggle. After class, she handed him a neatly printed practice sheet. “Let’s tackle this step by step,” she said.( 刘老师是一位耐心而细心的数学老师,她意识到了汤姆在默默挣扎。下课后,她递给他一张印得整整齐齐的练习纸。“让我们一步一步来解决这个问题,”她说。)”以及后面的内容,主要讲述了刘老师发现汤姆的问题后,采取了课后给练习单等方式来帮助他学习数学,也就是刘老师帮助汤姆学习数学的方法。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中““Ms. Liu didn’t just teach me math.” he told the crowd, his voice trembling. “She showed me that failure is just the first draft of success.” The applause from classmates and teachers cemented a truth Tom now embraced: perseverance could bridge even the widest gaps.( “刘老师不仅教我数学。他声音颤抖地对众人说。“她告诉我,失败只是成功的初稿。”同学和老师的掌声巩固了一个汤姆现在已经接受的真理:坚持不懈可以弥合最大的鸿沟。)”可知,文章中刘老师给予汤姆指导,如一对一辅导、创造助记符、组织学习小组等,汤姆自己坚持不懈地努力学习,最终取得了进步,在数学竞赛中获得荣誉。这表明了坚持不懈和老师的指导能够弥补差距。故选C项。
C
The Monkey King, like many iconic fictional heroes — Harry Potter, Batman, Little Orphan Annie — had an unhappy childhood. Sprung from a rock on a mythical mountain, he overcame early hardship to improve his fighting skills, learning to somersault (筋斗) clouds and to turn each hair on his body into a version of his warrior self. With his mix of naughtiness and might, he has a lot in common with the Hollywood’s many superheroes. But the Monkey King is different: he is more than 400 years old and comes from China.
Released on Netflix on August 18th, a new animated version of The Monkey King is full of bust-ups (争吵) and slapstick (滑稽), as Monkey faces 100 demons and tries to achieve long-lasting life. The film is the latest in a long line of adaptations of Journey to the West, the most famous novel in Chinese literature, published in 1592. But the ancient story has since conquered the world. It is a rare example of successful Chinese soft power, enduring the many ups and downs in relations between China and America.
In the past century the book has been adapted into more than 60 films, countless TV shows, children’s books, video games, a theme park and Lego toys. In May an award-winning graphic novel, American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang, which integrates the myth into a tale of teen anxiety at an American high school, was turned into a TV series by Disney. Successful adaptions include Dragon Ball, a cartoon version of the story that has sold millions of copies, and Monkey, a badly dubbed (配音) television show that became popular in Britain and Australia in the 1980s.
Each Monkey King retelling has served as a mirror on its times, reflecting the anxieties of its creators. Some interpretations have concentrated on the need for discipline to silence the inner voice. Others stress the theme of a lowly being rising to great heights.
As in all good storytelling, from Shakespeare to Star Wars, the ultimate fight in this story is for the hero’s soul. Monkey King’s physical journey is overlaid with a mental one — the rebellious (叛逆的) hero finally finds peace.
8. What makes the Monkey King different from other heroes in novels and films?
A. He is over 400 years old. B. He was unhappy as kids.
C. He demonstrated great power. D. He was naughty in nature.
9. What can be learned from the text?
A. The TV series, American Born Chinese, won an award in May.
B. The latest adaptation of Journey to the West was a video game.
C. The popular TV show, Monkey, was set in Britain and Australia.
D. The cartoon adaptation, Dragon Ball, was a best-seller.
10. Why do some creators adapt the Monkey King’s story according to Paragraph 4?
A. To express their worries.
B. To retell the ancient story.
C. To show the necessity of being an important figure.
D. To praise the strict discipline.
11. What is good storytelling like according to the author?
A. It reflects the author’s times. B. The hero fights for his soul.
C. It is about the hero’s journey. D. The hero finds his love at last.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍《西游记》中孙悟空形象的特点、其故事的改编情况及文化影响力。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But the Monkey King is different: he is more than 400 years old and comes from China.(但美猴王不同:他已有400多年历史,且来自中国。)”可知,美猴王与其他小说和电影中的英雄不同之处在于他已有400多年历史。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Successful adaptions include Dragon Ball, a cartoon version of the story that has sold millions of copies, and Monkey, a badly dubbed television show that became popular in Britain and Australia in the 1980s. (成功的改编作品包括《龙珠》—— 这部漫画版故事已售出数百万册,以及《猴王》—— 一部配音糟糕的电视剧,却在 20 世纪 80 年代的英国和澳大利亚走红。)”可知,卡通改编作品《龙珠》是畅销作品。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Each Monkey King retelling has served as a mirror on its times, reflecting the anxieties of its creators. Some interpretations have concentrated on the need for discipline to silence the inner voice. Others stress the theme of a lowly being rising to great heights. (每一次对美猴王故事的重新演绎都如同一面时代的镜子,映照着创作者们的焦虑。有些解读着重强调用纪律来平息内心的声音,另一些则突出底层人物跃升巅峰的主题。)”可知,每一次对美猴王的改编都反映了创作者所处时代的焦虑,即他们改编这个故事是为了表达自己的担忧。故选A项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“As in all good storytelling, from Shakespeare to Star Wars, the ultimate fight in this story is for the hero’s soul.(就像从莎士比亚到《星球大战》的所有优秀故事一样,这个故事的终极战斗是为了英雄的灵魂。)”可知,在作者看来,好的故事是英雄为自己的灵魂而战。故选B项。
D
Currently, most transplanted hearts come from donors who have been declared brain dead. This means the person no longer has signs of brain function after suffering a serious injury. In a brain death, machines can keep the body breathing and can provide oxygen to organs until they can be recovered and put on ice.
But a new method would take hearts from medical cases known as circulatory (血液循环的) deaths. These cases are also known as donation after circulatory death, or DCD.
Circulatory deaths happen when a person has a nonsurvivable brain injury, but still has some brain function. In these cases, family members can decide to withdraw all life support measures. This means organs go without oxygen for a time before they can be recovered.
Currently, kidneys (肾) and some other organs are taken from people suffering circulatory deaths. But doctors have resisted using hearts because of possible organ damage from a lack of oxygen.
A new study suggests that hearts might also be recoverable from cases of circulatory deaths. The researchers said using hearts from circulatory deaths could possibly give thousands more patients a chance at a lifesaving transplant. And it could increase the number of donor hearts by 30 percent.
With the new method, doctors can remove hearts in circulatory deaths and put them in a machine that" reanimates" them. This process pumps blood and nutrients through the heart as they are being transported. The organs can also be tested to make sure they are effectively functioning before they are transplanted.
The study involved multiple hospitals around the US, as well as 180 transplant patients. Half the patients received DCD hearts and half were given hearts from brain-dead donors that were transported on ice. Survival rates six months later were about the same — 94 percent for recipients of cardiac-death (心脏死亡) donations and 90 percent for those who got the usual hearts, the researchers reported.
In the US in 2022, 4,111 heart transplants were performed. While this was a record number, it is not nearly enough to meet the need. Hundreds of thousands of people suffer from advanced heart failure but many are never offered a transplant. Still others die waiting for one.
12. Why do doctors generally avoid DCD hearts?
A. Because of the complex process.
B. Because of the low survival rate.
C. Because of possible damage caused by oxygen lack.
D. Because of the needed additional surgical equipment.
13. How is the result of this new research demonstrated?
A. Through the patients' voluntary choice. B. By tracking two sets of data on a large scale.
C. Through analysis of similar cases. D. By getting information from patients.
14. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. The study is of significance. B. There are many cases of circulatory deaths.
C. The transplanted heart is still in oversupply. D. There are certain risks in heart transplantation.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. A New Heart Transplant Way to Save More Patients
B. The Risks of Heart Transplantation
C. Two Different Heart Transplantation Operations
D. Sources of Transplanted Hearts
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种从循环死亡案例中获取心脏进行移植的新方法,这种方法可以增加供体心脏数量,给更多患者带来救命的移植机会。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“But doctors have resisted using hearts because of possible organ damage from a lack of oxygen.( 但医生们一直拒绝使用心脏,因为可能会因缺氧而损害器官)”可知,医生们抵制使用来自循环死亡案例的心脏是因为可能因缺氧造成器官损伤。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The study involved multiple hospitals around the US, as well as 180 transplant patients. Half the patients received DCD hearts and half were given hearts from brain-dead donors that were transported on ice. Survival rates six months later were about the same — 94 percent for recipients of cardiac-death (心脏死亡) donations and 90 percent for those who got the usual hearts, the researchers reported.( 这项研究涉及美国多家医院,以及180名移植患者。一半的患者接受了DCD心脏,一半的患者接受了冷冻运输的脑死亡捐赠者的心脏。研究人员报告说,六个月后的存活率大致相同——接受心脏死亡捐赠的人的存活率为94%,而接受正常心脏捐赠的人的存活率为90%)”可知,这项研究通过追踪两组大规模的数据(180 名移植患者,一半接受 DCD 心脏,一半接受脑死亡供体心脏,并对比六个月后的存活率)来展示研究结果。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段“In the US in 2022, 4,111 heart transplants were performed. While this was a record number, it is not nearly enough to meet the need. Hundreds of thousands of people suffer from advanced heart failure but many are never offered a transplant. Still others die waiting for one.(2022年,美国进行了4111例心脏移植手术。虽然这是一个创纪录的数字,但远远不足以满足需求。成千上万的人患有晚期心力衰竭,但许多人从未接受过移植手术。还有一些人死于等待)”指出 2022 年美国进行了 4111 例心脏移植手术,但这远远不能满足需求,还有数十万人患有晚期心力衰竭,很多人没有得到移植机会,还有人在等待中死亡。而新的研究表明可以从循环死亡案例中获取心脏进行移植,这意味着新研究可以增加供体心脏数量,给更多患者移植机会。所以暗示了这项研究具有重要意义。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第二段“But a new method would take hearts from medical cases known as circulatory (血液循环的) deaths. These cases are also known as donation after circulatory death, or DCD.(但一种新的方法可以从被称为循环性死亡的医学病例中提取心脏。这些病例也被称为循环性死亡后捐赠,或DCD)”可知,文章主要介绍了一种从循环死亡案例中获取心脏进行移植的新方法,这种方法可以增加供体心脏数量,给更多患者带来救命的移植机会。由此可知,A 选项“一种拯救更多患者的心脏移植新方法”最适合作为文章标题。故选A项。
第二节 (共5 小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Could Eating Jellyfish Be Sustainable?
Like giant sharks in films, jellyfish poses a major threat in real life — to kill people with their stings (叮咬). And the potential danger they cause doesn’t stop there. ____16____. A research is even on whether box jellyfish could ultimately destroy our oceans — so could eating them be a possible solution?
● ____17____?
Some people argue that due to their reproductive cycle, jellyfish are actually a sustainable food source. Removing a jellyfish from the ocean doesn’t stop new ones being born. This is because they are spawned (使大量产生) from polyps (水螅体)on the seabed. In some ways, you can compare them to apples. ____18____.
●What about their nutritional value?
Jellyfish contain 36 calories per ounce, which equals iceberg lettuce (莴苣). However, it is full of protein, making it potentially a great diet food. ____19____, particularly in Asia, they are already consumed, often raw, fried or chopped up as part of a salad.
●But what do they taste like?
____20____, others describe them as having a salty taste. This could be due to their absorbent nature, which also leads them to being often served in a sauce. As for the texture, some people negatively compare the experience to eating gristle (软骨).
They might not be the tastiest thing you’ve ever eaten, but it beats fleeing the sea to avoid being stung. So the next time you want something fresh, look at jellyfish as a sustainable alternative.
A. What is needed to cook them?
B. How is their ability to reproduce?
C. While some say they are flavourless
D. It is easy for the fishermen to catch them.
E. And indeed, in many parts of the world
F. They are reported to attack fish farms, shut down power stations etc.
G. When you take an apple from a tree, the tree still goes on to produce more apples
【答案】16. F 17. B 18. G 19. E 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章探讨食用水母是否可持续,提及水母危害,从繁殖力、营养价值、味道说明其可作可持续食物,在多地被食用。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Like giant sharks in films, jellyfish poses a major threat in real life — to kill people with their stings (叮咬). And the potential danger they cause doesn’t stop there. ( 就像电影里的巨鲨一样,水母在现实生活中也构成了重大威胁——用它们的刺杀死人。它们造成的潜在危险还不止于此。)”提到水母的潜在危险不止于蜇人,空格处应进一步列举其危害。F选项 “They are reported to attack fish farms, shut down power stations etc. (它们被报道攻击养鱼场、关闭发电站等。)”具体说明了水母的其他威胁,与上文衔接紧密,符合逻辑。故选F项。
【17题详解】
此空为小标题,需概括该部分内容。根据下文“Some people argue that due to their reproductive cycle, jellyfish are actually a sustainable food source. Removing a jellyfish from the ocean doesn’t stop new ones being born. This is because they are spawned (使大量产生) from polyps (水螅体) on the seabed. ( 一些人认为,由于它们的繁殖周期,水母实际上是一种可持续的食物来源。将水母从海洋中移除并不会阻止新的水母诞生。这是因为它们是由海底的珊瑚虫繁殖而来的。)”可知,围绕水母的繁殖周期(reproductive cycle)展开,说明其繁殖能力强,是可持续的食物来源。B 选项“How is their ability to reproduce? (它们的繁殖能力如何?)”精准概括了该部分主题,适合作为该段的小标题。故选B项。
【18题详解】
根据前文“In some ways, you can compare them to apples. (在某些方面,你可以把它们比作苹果。)”将水母与苹果作类比,说明移除水母后仍会有新的产生(如同从树上摘苹果,树还会结果)。G选项“When you take an apple from a tree, the tree still goes on to produce more apples. (当你从树上摘下一个苹果时,树仍然会继续结出更多的苹果。)”通过具体例子解释了这一类比,衔接自然。故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据后文“particularly in Asia, they are already consumed, often raw, fried or chopped up as part of a salad. (特别是在亚洲,它们已经被食用,通常是生吃、油炸或切碎作为沙拉的一部分。)”提到尤其在亚洲,它们已被食用。E选项“And indeed, in many parts of the world (事实上,在世界许多地方)”能够引出在世界各地(包括亚洲)水母被食用的情况,与“particularly in Asia”形成递进关系,说明水母在多地被食用的现状,符合逻辑。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据小标题“But what do they taste like? (但是它们是什么味道呢?)”询问水母的味道,以及后文“others describe them as having a salty taste (其他人说它们有咸味。)”提示空格处应描述部分人的看法。C选项“While some say they are flavourless (有些人说它们没有味道。)”中 “some”与“others”呼应,构成“some...others...”的固定搭配,符合逻辑。故选C项。
第三部分 语言运用(共三节,满分30分)

Although cigarette butts are small, they are bad for the environment. These find their way into the water supply ___38___ they affect water quality and endanger plants and animals.

【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:如今,随着塑料袋使用量的增加和吸烟者数量的上升,产生的垃圾比以往任何时候都多。空处修饰名词number,需用形容词作定语,rise的形容词形式为rising,意为“上升的”。故填rising。

考查宾语从句。句意:我们应该减少使用塑料袋,并重复利用和回收我们已经使用过的。空处引导宾语从句,从句缺少宾语,需用连接代词what引导。故填what。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:但在包括中国在内的一些国家,顾客每个袋子都要付费。此处陈述客观事实,使用一般现在时,主语customers和charge之间为被动关系,需用一般现在时的被动语态,主语为复数名词,be动词用are。故填are charged。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:一些商店也有“终身袋”计划。scheme为可数名词,此处表示泛指,“bag-for-life”发音以辅音音素开头,需用不定冠词a。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:完全不乱扔垃圾或清理“小垃圾”可以节省妥善处理垃圾的费用。此处陈述客观事实,使用一般现在时,主语为“Not littering at all or cleaning up “small waste””,动名词短语作主语,谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填saves。

52. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Another new year,” Maggie thought as she headed out. She walked a few blocks to buy herself a gift. Suddenly, one store caught her attention. And as she entered the front door, a small bell announced her presence.
“Happy New Year,” a man greeted. “Hi,” Maggie replied, “you too.” “Can I help you find something?” he inquired. “I don’t really know what I want as my gift,” Maggie sighed. “Ah, when you don’t know what you want, get what you need.” he offered. After a brief moment of silence, the man smiled and claimed, “I have the perfect gift for you.”
The man went to a shelf that had one item left on it. “This is what you need.” he said as he handed Maggie a box. “A doll?” Maggie asked, looking through the clean plastic on the front of the box. “It’s what you need and what will make you happy.” he replied. “It is a beautiful baby doll, “ Maggie observed. “It looks expensive and I don’t know if I have enough money. How much is it?”“98 cents,” the man replied. Maggie asked in a surprising tone. “This doll is worth much more. How can you stay in business when you charge so little?” “We will be just fine,” the man smiled back at her, “and you will get a gift that will make you happy.”
The doll was quickly wrapped and returned to her. Maggie paid for the doll and left. She walked down the street in the direction of home. The sky was slowly darkening as the evening took over.
After a few minutes, she approached a woman and a young girl sitting on a bench next to the sidewalk in front of a small park. Maggie decided to sit down on a nearby vacant bench and take in the atmosphere of New Year.
She noticed the woman was trying to comfort the little girl who was upset and sniffling (抽噎). “We still have each other.” the woman comforted. “I know,” the young girl replied, “but I don’t know why somebody would steal presents on this day.” “Wish there was something I could do to help,” Maggie thought.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Looking around, Maggie noticed the gift-wrapped doll box next to her on the bench. The girl’s sniffles tugged at her heart softly. The shopkeeper’s words popped up, “what will make you happy”. She picked up the box, walked over slowly. “I heard about your present,” she said gently with a warm smile. The woman glanced up, surprised and curious. Maggie handed the box to the girl. “A New Year gift. For you.” The girl’s eyes widened, staring at the colorful wrapping in disbelief.
Tears welling up in their eyes, the previous worry was replaced by smiles. The girl tore off the wrapping, gasping at the doll. “She’s perfect!” she cried, hugging it tightly. The woman squeezed Maggie’s hand, voice shaky with gratitude. “Thank you — you’ve made our day so bright.” Maggie smiled, warmth blooming gently inside. Walking home, the cold air felt nice on her cheeks. She had no gift, but the girl’s clear laughter was the best present she could ever ask for.

Niagara Park is a destination that needs little introduction. The Horseshoe Falls in the park is undeniably the star attraction, with the waters of the Niagara River falling quickly over a 188-foot-high drop. While this natural wonder is indeed breathtaking, it’s by no means the only reason to visit the region. There are a number of equally impressive nature and history experiences to enjoy in the park.
Journey Behind the Falls
Journey Behind the Falls is an attraction at the west of Horseshoe Falls, documenting the geographical evolution of Niagara Falls and telling the history of Niagara Falls as an area, from its first native inhabitants to a world-famous tourist attraction.
Witness a whirlpool from above
In Niagara Valley visitors will find a surging whirlpool (旋涡) of water rages, created by an abrupt anticlockwise turn at the rapids’ end. For the best view, take the Whirlpool Aero Car that has been transporting visitors across the gorge (峡谷) for over a century. It’s a popular attraction, so consider visiting first thing in the morning to avoid long lines.
Discover the world’s butterflies
The Niagara Park Butterfly Conservatory is one of North America’s largest butterfly conservatories. The self-guided tour lets visitors observe butterfly species from all over the world, see them up close at feeding stations, or if you’re lucky, witness newborns take their first flight.
Take to the tunnels
Leave the surface behind and board a glass-walled lift to get into the depths of the Niagara Parks Power Station built in 1905. As well as wandering the building’s halls, guests can walk through the outlet tunnel. The long corridor transfers visitors to a dramatic exit point over the Niagara River, where a new viewing platform reveals the remarkable sight of Horseshoe Falls and Niagara River. The passageway can be accessed for no extra fee.
1. What can visitors do at the Niagara Park Butterfly Conservatory?
A. Take a guided tour. B. Feed the butterflies.
C. Observe butterfly species from around the world. D. Witness the birth of butterflies.
2. What can be known about the Niagara Park?
A. The tunnel is accessible without any additional charge.
B. Tourists visit Niagara Park only for breathtaking falls.
C. Visitors learn about the geographical evolution on the viewing platform.
D The best way to witness a whirlpool is walking through the gorge.
3. What’s the purpose of the text?
A. To show the history of the park. B. To attract visitors to the park.
C. To stress the importance of ecosystem. D. To introduce the falls in the park.

When Tom transferred from his rural middle school to a bustling city high school, he faced a crushing (毁灭性的) academic gap. Raised in a village where math lessons focused on basic addition and subtraction. Tom felt utterly unprepared for the city school’s strict curriculum. Algebra equations and geometric theorems seemed like a foreign language. His first math test—a humiliating 42/100— left him paralyzed with shame. “I’ll never catch up,” he thought, feeling overwhelmed and avoiding eye contact with classmates who scored effortlessly in the 90s.
Ms. Liu, a patient and observant math teacher, recognized Tom’s silent struggle. After class, she handed him a neatly printed practice sheet. “Let’s tackle this step by step,” she said. For the next three months, Ms. Liu devoted two afternoons weekly to one-on-one tutoring. She broke complex problems into visual diagrams, comparing algebraic variables to “missing puzzle pieces” and geometric angles to “folded paper edges.” To help him memorize formulas, she created catchy mnemonics (助记符,顺口溜) , like “All Students Take Coffee” for trigonometric (三角函数) ratios. Additionally, she invited Tom to join her after-school study group, where peers shared problem-solving shortcuts in a judgment-free zone.
Tom’s determination matched his teacher’s effort. He transformed every spare moment into a learning opportunity: reviewing flashcards during his hour-long bus commute, solving practice problems during lunch breaks, and rewriting notes until his hands cramped. Each evening, he emailed Ms. Liu his homework drafts, and she responded with detailed corrections by dawn. Progress was painfully slow— his next test climbed to 65, then 78— but Tom clung to Ms. Liu’s principle: “Small steps still move mountains.”
The turning point arrived when Ms. Liu surprised him with an application for the Regional Math Olympiad. “You’re ready,” she insisted, though Tom doubted himself. For weeks, he drilled past competition papers, often working past midnight. On the day of the event, his palms sweat as he faced the first algebra problem, but Ms. Liu’s voice echoed in his mind: “Focus on what you know.” When results were announced, Tom’s name appeared under “Honorable Mentions”— an achievement he’d never imagined possible.
At the award ceremony, Tom clutched (紧握,抱紧) his certificate, tears blurring the stage lights. “Ms. Liu didn’t just teach me math.” he told the crowd, his voice trembling. “She showed me that failure is just the first draft of success.” The applause from classmates and teachers cemented a truth Tom now embraced: perseverance could bridge even the widest gaps.

6. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. Tom’s silent struggle in maths. B. Ms. Liu’s teaching methods in class.

The Monkey King, like many iconic fictional heroes — Harry Potter, Batman, Little Orphan Annie — had an unhappy childhood. Sprung from a rock on a mythical mountain, he overcame early hardship to improve his fighting skills, learning to somersault (筋斗) clouds and to turn each hair on his body into a version of his warrior self. With his mix of naughtiness and might, he has a lot in common with the Hollywood’s many superheroes. But the Monkey King is different: he is more than 400 years old and comes from China.
Released on Netflix on August 18th, a new animated version of The Monkey King is full of bust-ups (争吵) and slapstick (滑稽), as Monkey faces 100 demons and tries to achieve long-lasting life. The film is the latest in a long line of adaptations of Journey to the West, the most famous novel in Chinese literature, published in 1592. But the ancient story has since conquered the world. It is a rare example of successful Chinese soft power, enduring the many ups and downs in relations between China and America.
In the past century the book has been adapted into more than 60 films, countless TV shows, children’s books, video games, a theme park and Lego toys. In May an award-winning graphic novel, American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang, which integrates the myth into a tale of teen anxiety at an American high school, was turned into a TV series by Disney. Successful adaptions include Dragon Ball, a cartoon version of the story that has sold millions of copies, and Monkey, a badly dubbed (配音) television show that became popular in Britain and Australia in the 1980s.
Each Monkey King retelling has served as a mirror on its times, reflecting the anxieties of its creators. Some interpretations have concentrated on the need for discipline to silence the inner voice. Others stress the theme of a lowly being rising to great heights.
As in all good storytelling, from Shakespeare to Star Wars, the ultimate fight in this story is for the hero’s soul. Monkey King’s physical journey is overlaid with a mental one — the rebellious (叛逆的) hero finally finds peace.
8. What makes the Monkey King different from other heroes in novels and films?
A. He is over 400 years old. B. He was unhappy as kids.
C. He demonstrated great power. D. He was naughty in nature.
9. What can be learned from the text?
A. The TV series, American Born Chinese, won an award in May.
B. The latest adaptation of Journey to the West was a video game.
C. The popular TV show, Monkey, was set in Britain and Australia.
D. The cartoon adaptation, Dragon Ball, was a best-seller.
10. Why do some creators adapt the Monkey King’s story according to Paragraph 4?
A. To express their worries.
B. To retell the ancient story.
C. To show the necessity of being an important figure.
D. To praise the strict discipline.
11. What is good storytelling like according to the author?
A. It reflects the author’s times. B. The hero fights for his soul.
C. It is about the hero’s journey. D. The hero finds his love at last.
D
Currently, most transplanted hearts come from donors who have been declared brain dead. This means the person no longer has signs of brain function after suffering a serious injury. In a brain death, machines can keep the body breathing and can provide oxygen to organs until they can be recovered and put on ice.
But a new method would take hearts from medical cases known as circulatory (血液循环的) deaths. These cases are also known as donation after circulatory death, or DCD.
Circulatory deaths happen when a person has a nonsurvivable brain injury, but still has some brain function. In these cases, family members can decide to withdraw all life support measures. This means organs go without oxygen for a time before they can be recovered.
Currently, kidneys (肾) and some other organs are taken from people suffering circulatory deaths. But doctors have resisted using hearts because of possible organ damage from a lack of oxygen.
A new study suggests that hearts might also be recoverable from cases of circulatory deaths. The researchers said using hearts from circulatory deaths could possibly give thousands more patients a chance at a lifesaving transplant. And it could increase the number of donor hearts by 30 percent.
With the new method, doctors can remove hearts in circulatory deaths and put them in a machine that" reanimates" them. This process pumps blood and nutrients through the heart as they are being transported. The organs can also be tested to make sure they are effectively functioning before they are transplanted.
The study involved multiple hospitals around the US, as well as 180 transplant patients. Half the patients received DCD hearts and half were given hearts from brain-dead donors that were transported on ice. Survival rates six months later were about the same — 94 percent for recipients of cardiac-death (心脏死亡) donations and 90 percent for those who got the usual hearts, the researchers reported.
In the US in 2022, 4,111 heart transplants were performed. While this was a record number, it is not nearly enough to meet the need. Hundreds of thousands of people suffer from advanced heart failure but many are never offered a transplant. Still others die waiting for one.
12. Why do doctors generally avoid DCD hearts?
A. Because of the complex process.
B. Because of the low survival rate.
C. Because of possible damage caused by oxygen lack.
D. Because of the needed additional surgical equipment.
13. How is the result of this new research demonstrated?
A. Through the patients' voluntary choice. B. By tracking two sets of data on a large scale.
C. Through analysis of similar cases. D. By getting information from patients.
14. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. The study is of significance. B. There are many cases of circulatory deaths.
C. The transplanted heart is still in oversupply. D. There are certain risks in heart transplantation.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A A New Heart Transplant Way to Save More Patients
B. The Risks of Heart Transplantation
C. Two Different Heart Transplantation Operations
D. Sources of Transplanted Hearts

Could Eating Jellyfish Be Sustainable?
Like giant sharks in films, jellyfish poses a major threat in real life — to kill people with their stings (叮咬). And the potential danger they cause doesn’t stop there. ____16____. A research is even on whether box jellyfish could ultimately destroy our oceans — so could eating them be a possible solution?
● ____17____?
Some people argue that due to their reproductive cycle, jellyfish are actually a sustainable food source. Removing a jellyfish from the ocean doesn’t stop new ones being born. This is because they are spawned (使大量产生) from polyps (水螅体)on the seabed. In some ways, you can compare them to apples. ____18____.
●What about their nutritional value?
Jellyfish contain 36 calories per ounce, which equals iceberg lettuce (莴苣). However, it is full of protein, making it potentially a great diet food. ____19____, particularly in Asia, they are already consumed, often raw, fried or chopped up as part of a salad.
●But what do they taste like?
____20____, others describe them as having a salty taste. This could be due to their absorbent nature, which also leads them to being often served in a sauce. As for the texture, some people negatively compare the experience to eating gristle (软骨).
They might not be the tastiest thing you’ve ever eaten, but it beats fleeing the sea to avoid being stung. So the next time you want something fresh, look at jellyfish as a sustainable alternative.
A. What is needed to cook them?
B. How is their ability to reproduce?
C. While some say they are flavourless
D. It is easy for the fishermen to catch them.
E. And indeed, in many parts of the world
F. They are reported to attack fish farms, shut down power stations etc.
G. When you take an apple from a tree, the tree still goes on to produce more apples

52. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Another new year,” Maggie thought as she headed out. She walked a few blocks to buy herself a gift. Suddenly, one store caught her attention. And as she entered the front door, a small bell announced her presence.
“Happy New Year,” a man greeted. “Hi,” Maggie replied, “you too.” “Can I help you find something?” he inquired. “I don’t really know what I want as my gift,” Maggie sighed. “Ah, when you don’t know what you want, get what you need.” he offered. After a brief moment of silence, the man smiled and claimed, “I have the perfect gift for you.”
The man went to a shelf that had one item left on it. “This is what you need.” he said as he handed Maggie a box. “A doll?” Maggie asked, looking through the clean plastic on the front of the box. “It’s what you need and what will make you happy.” he replied. “It is a beautiful baby doll, “ Maggie observed. “It looks expensive and I don’t know if I have enough money. How much is it?”“98 cents,” the man replied. Maggie asked in a surprising tone. “This doll is worth much more. How can you stay in business when you charge so little?” “We will be just fine,” the man smiled back at her, “and you will get a gift that will make you happy.”
The doll was quickly wrapped and returned to her. Maggie paid for the doll and left. She walked down the street in the direction of home. The sky was slowly darkening as the evening took over.
After a few minutes, she approached a woman and a young girl sitting on a bench next to the sidewalk in front of a small park. Maggie decided to sit down on a nearby vacant bench and take in the atmosphere of New Year.
She noticed the woman was trying to comfort the little girl who was upset and sniffling (抽噎). “We still have each other.” the woman comforted. “I know,” the young girl replied, “but I don’t know why somebody would steal presents on this day.” “Wish there was something I could do to help,” Maggie thought.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;

Looking around, Maggie noticed the gift-wrapped doll box next to her on the bench.

Tears welling up in their eyes the previous worry was replaced by smiles.
